package am-utils 6.2+rc20110530-3ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Boss Gotti]

1) Ubuntu 12.10

2) Unable to locate package pkgname

3) I expected to do a routine update

4) Instead it gave me an error message and it didn't update. It had broken packages which I tried resolving in the 'synaptic package manager' and NO JOY!!
